BCE selling land mobile radio network business to Motorola subsidiary

BCE Inc. is selling its land mobile radio network business to a Motorola Solutions subsidiary for $675 million, part of a broader plan to divest $7 billion of assets to pay down debt. The deal reduces BCE's asset base but supports deleveraging and liquidity, potentially easing credit risk and interest burden. Transaction is modest relative to BCE's scale and is unlikely to be market-moving beyond the company and sector peers.
